This society is a post-apocalypse dystopian society.
A long time ago, in what they call the Rusty era, people drove in cars that touched the ground and caused a lot of pollution. They built giant buildings out of steel, and threw their trash everywhere. One day, an accident happened in a lab. A scientist accidentaly created a virus that fed on oil and gasoline, and created fire in the process. It spread on the wind, so when it was released, it wreaked havoc. People who tried to get away from the burning cities in their cars died. The remains of the cities show the panic that happened on that last day.
Centuries passed, and the survivors built themselves a new place. Cities dot all over the world. They mostly obey the same customs. Once a person turns 16, they get a massive surgery that gives them perfect looks and health. No more zits, no more flu, no more ugly. The children under 16 are called Uglies. They wait their turn anxiously, dreaming of when they can be Pretty.
You see, Pretties have all the fun. Endless parties, no responsibilities. When they get old enough, or when a mistake in the Pleasure Gardens happens, they go on to Middle Pretties, who raise their children in the Burbs until they're 12, when they go to Uglyville.
It seems perfect, everyone has a place, everyone is happy. But they don't know the whole truth. They are so simple-mindedly happy because of lesions put on their brains during the surgery. It takes away their adventurousness, their desire, their independence.
Some Uglies get away before their birthday, escape to the Smoke. The Smoke is a refuge for Uglies of all ages. It is hidden far away in the woods. The people there want to free the Pretties of their prison. But cities all across the continent want to find them and burn them, as the Smoke is a threat to their society.
Pretties called Specials hunt the Smoke. They are faster, stronger, and smarter than any regular person. Their teeth and nails are sharp, their muscles strong enough to snap your neck as if it were a twig.
You can see why it's safer to stay in New Pretty Town.

[font=trebuchet ms]The City:
The Rusty Ruins
Hideout for Ugly trouble-makers, and occasional field trip location. It is the ruins of Seattle, from when the virus came. Rusty shells of buildings are all squished together, and rusty shells of cars are everywhere on the streets. A bit past the city, an old roller coaster still stands.

The Suburbs
Where Middle to Late Pretties and Littlies (0-12 year olds) stay. In between the Factory Belt and the Greenbelt.

The Greenbelt
Where the Uglies often practice their hoverboarding, and act on their impulses. There is a perfect slalom course of trees there for the adventurous hoverboarder.

Uglyville
Where all Uglies 12-15 stay. They live in dorm rooms, with windows the perfect size for sneaking out. If they earn enough merits through grades and volunteering, they can order something from their wall. They have a giant TV on the wall, where they are encouraged to fantasize about what they will look like when they are Pretty. Pretties never visit their younger Ugly friends.

The River
A river separates Uglyville and New Pretty Town. It is hard to cross unauthorized but not impossible.

New Pretty Town
Where the New Pretties live. Full of parties, bubbliness, beauty, and a couple of mischievous Uglies.

The Smoke:
Many, many miles away from the city, about a week's journey. All the runaway Uglies live there, some have even lived there their entire lives. Old Uglies, young Uglies, they all work together to keep the small band functioning. They are wanted by most every city for taking away Uglies and resisting the order.
